I am Sicilian and Caponatina (or Caponata) is one of my favorites. You can add and subtract what you like or dislike (to a certain point). We do not add mushrooms (which I love) or Green peppers (I don't personally like them, and have never seen them in any Caponata a Sicilian has made).

Our musts, capers, green olives and celery. If you like eggplant, you will love Caponatina :p
